Germany look like Arsenal tbh
Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Feel that Mexico aren't making the most of their counter attack
Two men were free on the right if Vela had spotted them earlier.
The amount of space Mexico has on the counter attack is incredible, a lack of DM so apparent.
Mexico been better team but they have wasted quite a few counters now with poor balls or not looking up to see the right option
but hey do know how to time performances at the WC
They just don't seem as good to me, at least in this match.
If Mexico dont make another one of these counters count they'll be punished.
Germany's defending just then 
Can't help but think Mexico will live to regret only scoring once.
Didn't he break his leg, or am I thinking someone else?
Some Mexico players can’t see the picth for shit, could have been easily been up by few more with a bit more vision on the counters.
Hes probably thinking because there is currently nobody there in midfield pretty much. Massive holds in the midfield and defense.
What a game. Mexico have been great
Are you Brazilian or why are you constantly bitching about Germany?
That pressing from Mexico is relentless
Excellent half of football. Really enjoying the WC thus far
Let's go!
Mexico need to get another goal while they are still up. Never count those Germans out. Lets see how the second half plays out
The Mexicans are playing the only way they should against Germany. Aggressive and not backing down at all.
Mexico need to get Corona in for Chicharito at HT. Have him bother the left back who I don't even know who the feck he is.
So far it's a complete confirmation of our lukewarm showings from the last friendlies. This won't do at all.
What is Kimmich up to? Mexicans have run up that side with no pressure about 10 times now.
If Mexico decision making in counter better a bit they will be battering Germany now
Exactly my thought
They look toothless, just passing the ball around with no clear incisiveness.
Mexico deserve to be up by more.
Which one you think? You think u love mexico? You think it has got nothing to do? You met a mexican girl? You think she's a girl?I love Mexico and it has got absolutely nothing to do with the Mexican girl I met in Vegas back in March. I think
Don’t say Muller has been poor. You’d get a group of Bayern supporters after you.
Germany did seem to wake up once Mexico scored. A 1 goal lead might not be enough, Mexico need to continue pressing like maniacs and try to keep up the pressure.
Phil Neville is such a dullard. Makes me actually prefer ITV's coverage.
I'd sh*t myself with that Mexican front three running at me.
As good as Mexico have been they can’t keep this tempo up surely. They need to capitalise on those counters as soon as possible in the second half or they’ll wither away.
Germans are too slow in the back and midfield, Boateng, Hummels, Kroos and Khedira, all very slow and struggling to catch the counters. They'll get even more exposed against better teams.
No, I just always wind up rooting for Mexico, for some reason.
They might regret that in the second half.
Germany should go 433 in the second half
Loving the Mexico game plan.
Mexico will probably tire a bit + natural reaction to start dropping deeper if they're still leading with 20 minutes left. They can certainly get a second before those tactics kick in though.
Poor match up for Germany so far, really struggled against Mexico's counter attacks so imagine teams like Brazil, France and Spain have noted this with much interest.

Me too. Early days but it already has the potential to be a classic WC?
The only downside is when BBC have the game and Phil Neville is commentating (like today). He is a dreadful co commentator... actually tempted to turn the sound down and listen to Talksport (!)
This must have been our worst 45 minutes at a world cup in this whole century.
